But it seems unlikely that the IBM entry will knock the competition out of the ring as some had predicted. From his vantage point in Miami, Dr. Heinz Dinter told us that the enhanced graphics capability of IBM is news--but Hewlett Packard and Apple will continue to maintain dominant positions for some time to come. "Along with the new PCs which were launched is new software, Windows, from Microsoft, which will simplify the commands needed to operate them. Windows uses graphics similar to Apple's Macintosh. "Industry experts found the new IBMs impressive technically, but the advance was incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged. Incremental cost is additional or increased cost of an item or service apart from its actual cost. ." April 15, 1987 |
